It officially feels like fall today. The frigid temperatures of the last week have given way to seasonable 70s with a light breeze. Nice night for a long walk. This is a fairly simple Chicken Parmesan and the Mushroom Confetti is a light and tasty side. Enjoy.

On the board tonight:

Chicken Parmesan

Garlic Bread*

Italian Mushroom Confetti

Sherbet or (my favorite) Gelato

Chicken Parmesan

2 tbsp olive oil

4 chicken breasts, cut into fillets or 1 lb chicken breast fillets

2 cups Italian Bread Crumbs

½ onion, diced

15 oz can tomato sauce

3 tbsp tomato paste**

1 tsp basil

1/2 tsp oregano

1/4 tsp rosemary

2 tsp crushed garlic

Pinch of sugar

4 oz sliced mozzarella cheese

1 green pepper, sliced into rings

4 oz grated parmesan cheese

large skillet and 9×13 baking dish, lightly oiled

Wash and lightly dry breasts, then coat in bread crumbs. Heat oil in skillet, reduce heat to medium and brown chicken on both sides, remove, set aside. Add onion, sauce, paste & spices and bring to a low boil, reduce heat, simmer 5 minutes. Place a ladle of sauce in the bottom of the baking dish, place chicken on top and then spread remaining sauce over the top of the chicken. Add cheese slices on each fillet. Sprinkle evenly with parmesan, top with green pepper rings. Bake at 375, 20 -25 minutes until cheese is melted and golden brown.
